Understanding autoimmune diseases through tissue analysis
Accelerating Medicines Partnership-Autoimmune and Immunologic Disease Tissue Research Core
This study is looking at tissue samples from people with autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis to learn more about how cells interact in these conditions, and if you choose to participate, your sample could help find new treatments!

What this research studies
This research focuses on analyzing tissue samples from patients with autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and others to better understand the cellular interactions involved in these conditions. By using advanced single-cell analysis techniques, the project aims to identify key biomarkers and improve the quality of samples collected for research. Patients may contribute their tissue samples, which will be processed and analyzed to uncover insights that could lead to new treatments. The research emphasizes standardized methods to ensure high-quality data and effective collaboration across various disease teams.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include individuals diagnosed with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren’s disease, or psoriatic spectrum diseases.
Not a fit: Patients without a diagnosis of autoimmune diseases or those not willing to provide tissue samples may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and treatment options for patients with autoimmune diseases.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research initiatives like the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in RA/Lupus have shown success in utilizing similar tissue analysis approaches to advance understanding of autoimmune diseases.
